Long Hoa Market

Long Hoa Market is a large traditional market located in Long Hoa Ward, Hoa Thanh Town, Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam, adjacent to the Cao Dai Holy See. Established to serve the local community and followers of Caodaism, it is one of the largest markets in Tay Ninh. The market is known for its wide range of goods including fresh produce, textiles, household items and local specialties, and functions as a central commercial hub for the area.

Visitors can expect a bustling covered market complex with multiple sections selling fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, dried goods, clothing, fabrics and household products. The market has a busy, crowded atmosphere especially in the morning, with narrow aisles between stalls, vendors calling out prices, and food stalls serving local Tay Ninh dishes. The structure is a large permanent market building with open sides, located within walking distance of the Cao Dai Holy See.

Long Hoa Market was developed in the early 20th century alongside the growth of Hoa Thanh and the establishment of the Cao Dai Holy See in 1926. It was created to serve the increasing population of Cao Dai followers and residents settling around the holy see, and has since expanded into a major regional commercial center for Tay Ninh.

The market holds cultural significance as the main commercial and social hub for the Cao Dai community and residents of Hoa Thanh. It reflects local daily life, culinary traditions and trading customs of Tay Ninh, and is known for regional products such as Tay Ninh shrimp salt (muoi tom) and other local specialties.
